TheGermanBastard Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 I wonder which smithes would only use a bare Aoi Mon as a mean to sign? Quote
ChrisW Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 By no means an expert, but doesn't the rust inside the sign sort of serve as a tip off? Its also VERY crisp and I can't discern chisel marks. Quote
Surfson Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Yasutsugu comes to mind when seeing that mon, but no idea whether they ever used it by itself. I agree with the concern that fresh rust inside the carving, just as fresh rust inside a signature, is a sign that it was recently done. Quote
